wheelband Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hello, I am new to this forum and wanted to ask a question with regards to re-stringing my 1990s Epiphone Rivoli bass. It is a short scale bass and wondered if anyone could recommend some short scale strings that they have found to be good quality and great sounding. I play rock/ blues music and want the strings to be round wound. I believe the scale length to be 30.5 on the Rivoli. Thanks and look forward to your replies, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaolee Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I have been happy with flats on my EB-2, but if you are going to use rounds on a semi-hollow, then DG Black Beauties are pretty good. I use them on my Thunderbird and they sound great. They are coated, so they should last longer, although strings last a decent time on a bass anyway. The coating makes them feel "soft" to my fingers, which means I can play faster and more accurately while being more comfortable. There are plenty of other choices, but those are what I use and would use on the EB if I put rounds on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
